I'm dealing with this ring guard on my skin, and it's starting to spread to the lower part of my body. I'm really worried about it. Here are some pictures. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit concerned because I took a Plan B pill recently, and now I'm having what looks like bleeding, almost like a period, but my actual period isn't supposed to start for another two weeks. Is this normal, or could it just be spotting from the pill?

I've been dealing with jock itch for the past couple of years, and it's really frustrating because it keeps coming back and leaves scars. I'm using Amorolfine cream, Itraconazole capsules, and levocetirizine dihydrochloride tablets, as recommended by my doctor. But how can I get rid of these scars? Any advice on what might help?

To remove the scars caused by jock itch, you can consider using a topical cream containing Mometasone furoate along with Fusidic acid. Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected area once daily for a few weeks. Additionally, you can also use a scar removal gel containing Allium cepa extract and heparin. Apply this gel on the scars twice daily for better results. Remember to continue using Amorolfine cream, Itraconazole capsules, and Levocetirizine dihydrochloride tablets as prescribed by your doctor for treating the jock itch.

I'm noticing that I sweat a lot and my skin tends to be really oily. It's strange because my body often feels colder than other people's, and when I start sweating, it gets freezing cold to the touch. I'm kind of worried about what might be causing this. Any ideas?
